About This Page: (This is Main Street by Angie, who is working on art goals here on the blog!)
This has been a personal project to blog every day for a school year on goals and dreams. My hope was that I could find a group of people to work with me.
I was lucky enough to find a small, but sincere group of inspirational people to keep me company. We've been using Walt Disney's philosophies or creations as inspiration.
I am no longer blogging daily, but I am notified if comments are posted, and I'll be happy to keep the discussion going!

DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 01-26-2010 at 03:36 PM by Sandra Bostwick
I went to pick up the next 100 copies of my new book. I was sitting in the parking lot and I believed I had my car in park when SUDDENLY the car started rolling at what appeared to be CRASH speed.
My heart skipped a beat, then pounded a few extra beats! My foot slammed on the brakes as I looked at the car parked just a few feet in front of mine. I instinctively reached for the stick to get the car back into park.
All of this happened in a split second.
And in that same split second, my brain processed something else.
I was not moving. The huge SUV next to me was backing out very quickly and, in my teeny, sporty little car, that SUV took up my whole field of side vision, giving the impression that I was moving.
It was so real that I FELT it, but it was not real at all. Just an illusion.
But my whole body was hyper-alert and full of panic.
It wasn't even the same as a near-miss accident, when your adrenaline pumps because you had a real fight-or-flight event.
It was all in my head.
I realize that many of my goals and plans have those same illusionary dramas. It feels like a huge roadblock is in the way or I think I see a reason why I should worry.
I reality, though, I've just lost my bearing.
Today I am going to really think about the illusions that are getting in the way of smooth and comfortable progress toward my goals. I hope you'll join me and let me know what you come up with!

hey sandy don't worry I think someone in heaven was try to get your attention you may need to start talk more to him about goals in his will. He did that when I had that accident 11 years ago now I never stop talking to him. Any way I'm pretty much blind in one eye but still can see good in the other. So I sometime feel that to when I'm at a stop light. I know I'm pushing the breaks with my hand control then the other car next to my just backing up a bit yes it a scary moment but also wake me up.0 Pixie Dust

Thanks for that message Todd! I only found it because I was linking this to today's blog, and I have to say that your message was VERY meaningful to me in my current meditations.
What an awesome advisor you are!0 Pixie Dust
